The American Dream, as one of the best known myths of
American society had and still has a major impact on
literature. The ideal itself as well as the portrayal
of its fall has inspired a great number of authors.
The present book proposes to describe and analyze the
history and the formation of this myth, as well as
Theodore Dreiser's vision on the Fall of the American
Dream. Its main goal is to compare a male and a
female version of chasing the American Dream.
Dreiser's Sister Carrie and An American Tragedy are
perhaps the best studies of the mythology of the
American Dream including both stories of success and
stories of failure. The book reflects on different
critical interpretations attempting to show how
dreiserian heroes embody the essence of the American
career model and illustrate the effects of this
mesmerizing myth. Accordingly the analysis addresses
mostly graduate and undergraduate students but also
anyone else who is interested in American literature
and in the concept of American Dream.
